Don't know about the Flagg stickers from Cobrstickers, but the ones for the WHALE are great.

How is the quality of the Flagg replacement stickers from Cobra Stickers? How are the colors? Are there any issues with fading after time? Are they vinyl similar to the originals? Anything I should be aware of before purchasing from them?
Would appreciate any insight and advice. Thanks. BTW the colors are awesome and the vinyl quality is better than the originals.

I'll break the ice here with my first post. I was one of those kids who always dreamed of having the USS Flagg, but it never came to pass in childhood. As an adult, I still have the desire to own one, but I don't think it's realistic due to space, etc. It's a big frick'n toy, ya know! So, recently, it dawns on me to piece together the most important part (in my opinion) of the USS Flagg and call it a day. So, I will consider myself a "partial plank owner" as I assemble my USS Flagg superstructure (island). I have so far began my quest by purchasing most of the superstructure second deck pieces, which there seem to be plenty of parts out there to do. I am however, finding it difficult to locate the superstructure bottom and a combat computer console. Anyway, it's good to be here.

Finally got my Joe Holy Grail - the U.S.S. Flagg!!! I got one Christmas of 1985 and regretted every day after I gave it to my cousin in the early 90s. Won it off eBay from a great owner - it is about 99% complete, has some sticker wear (I've already got replacement stickers from Rattlerpros), but has ALL deck clips AND a working mic!!! Super stoked...already put her up as the centerpiece in my Joe Room. Next step is giver her a good cleaning and pretty her up with new stickers. Here are a few pics:

I'll post pics later this month of my Flagg all cleaned up with a new sticker job.
Get this while you can...there will never be another toy this size for ANY toy line.

I've often thought about getting it, but it's just too big for me right now... my true grail is the Defiant. If I'm going to fork over that much, I'd rather get the Defiant.
However if an opportunity arises I'll jump...
